]]> I hope everyone is having a Happy New Year. I wanted to let everyone know that we are still $15,0000.00 short of the amount needed for the church building project in Burkina Faso for Bro. Keith Shumaker. There are many Muslims being saved and converted weekly, and he needs this building to continue spreading the Word and training men to further the gospel. The January 15th date to start the construction is rapidly approaching.

Often times we ask what can we do–if we can not go, we can send others. Keith Shumaker is a fine example of one who has gone, and here is our opportunity to have a part in this work. He needs our help. All funds given will go directly to the building of the church. Please pray and seek God’s guidance in your contribution. If you have any questions, feel free to call me on my cell phone at 404-475-8472 or via email at david@bcwe.net. Sincerely,

David Lundy

]]> Christmas in the States
We were able to have Christmas in the States this year with my parents and in-laws.  We really enjoyed the time spent with family and friends in the States.  The day before we left Peru, Faith Baptist Church had a Cantata for Christmas.  We had 257 people in the church on a Wednesday night and I preached when it was all done.  God has given us a great Christmas this year, and we are thankful for it.  While back in the States, we will be preaching in many churches; we are excited about sharing all that God is doing in Peru to reach the entire world with the Gospel. 
 

Kids are doing great
Please be praying for us since the kids have spent so much time with their grandparents.  Needless to say, the discipline that we knew as children is nothing like what our children get from their grandparents.  The grandparents have loved spending time with the kids, and the kids have definitely loved spending Christmas with them.  Jacob will be turning 4 while he is back in the States as well.  I am afraid that they are going to think that the States is nothing but fun and games and getting presents.  Andrew is growing quickly.  He had some problems when he was first born because he wasn’t getting enough nutrition from Mom but now he is doing great.  Pray for our kids as they go back to Peru on the 25th of January.
 

Bible College
The Bible College is revving up for a new semester; pray for the teachers—especially that this semester will be the best ever.  We have already heard from 60 students wanting to be in the Bible College.  We will not be able to accept this many students because of financial reasons.  Pray for us that we will have wisdom in choosing who we can accept in the college and who will have to be turned down.  While back in the States, we had the privilege of going to the 3rd Summit in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.  This was an incredible time and we saw God do some amazing things.  During this time we had $9500 donated to buy property for Kevin Hall in South Africa to start a church with, we had $8100 donated to Jason Holt in Chile to help him buy the piece of property that they need for the church that they already started, and then we had $2400 donated for the Bible College.  Also, we had 40 people commit to sponsor a student in the Bible College while he is studying there.  What a blessing to see this happen because the Bible College currently has a $3000 deficit each month, and this promised support will help with this problem.  If you would like to sponsor a student, please let us know by emailing us at gardner@uttermost.net.  We are excited about all that God is doing in Peru and we are looking forward to many other things being done.  Pray for the Bible College to continue to have the kind of fruit that it has had in the past. 
The Gardners
Chris, Andria, Jacob, Hannah and Andrew

]]> Bro. Mark Coffey asked me to post this blog for him:

We were very excited to see our new facility today as we made our walk-through and finalized plans for a move within the next two weeks! However, we were surprised to find out from the leasing company that we may have to pay as much as $7,500 that we were not expecting in additional rent this month. 

We must be moved into the new building by January 2nd. Will you please pray with us and ask the Lord to provide the extra $7,500 we will need to cover the rent for this month? Would you also consider how you can help us meet this possible need in such a short amount of time? I know the Lord has great things planned for us next year. Let us step out in faith knowing He will provide!

 Here to serve,

Mark Coffey

]]> The story of Stanley Dale, missionary to Yali people of Irian Jaya is a story of relentless courage and unwavering faith in the God that said “go ye into all the world.”  Those that Stanley took the gospel to shot more than 50 arrows through him the day he died.  As he stood in the river pulling them out and throwing them on the ground his blood was watering a seed that would became the evanglization of a tribe of cannibles.  The story of his rugged life should awaken something in every man that knows God.  Stanley never promoted himself as someone of tremendous courage but summed up his resolve in this quote.

“Lord, I know you have better men for the job than me, but they’re not willing, so send me.”

 We can be this.  If we will

]]> “the same commit thou to faithful men,” became the theme this morning at the first meeting of the men’s fellowship at Vision Baptist church.  Eighteen men and young men showed up and were challenged by Austin to take the leadership role that God intended men to have.  II Timothy 2:3-5 gives men their instructions for the battle. 

First, endure hardness.  There is no place for soft choices in the battle over kingdom territory.  That territory is the hearts of people, and the decision that all must make.  We must accept responsibility for what we know.  We must accept the fact that the Bible is both true and serious about the message that Jesus Christ died for all mankind making it imperative that they decide.  Getting that message to the world is the most manly thing we can do, but its also hard.  We have to be ready to endure hardness. 

Secondly, the entanglements of the world cannot entangle us or we risk the entire mission.  A character lapse or indulgence in comforts creates unrecoverable delay in the forward motion of World Evangelism.  We cannot afford delays for they are a sure loss of ground.

Thirdly, all efforts must be lawful, truthful and correct lest we risk disqualifying our efforts.  We have a mandate and the baseline for all truth and ministry.  The Word of God.  We have no authority outside of the Bible and no excuse for sidestepping anything within the Bible.

If you are a man that desires to take his life and ministry to a level that matters, don’t miss the next meeting of the men’s fellowship at Vision.  Saturday afternoon, December 16th at 4:00 p.m., and Saturday morning December 23rd at 7:30 a.m.
